sh1njuk1 Let's see if I can get this in before my son's bath...
First, I had a slightly different perspective occur to me for the Devil card yesterday. Early in the day I allowed myself to read the weekly Collapse thread (I only read it once a week now). I ran across, as I often do, a poster who is actively abusing their children with their collapse ideology, and painting it as "being honest with them about the situation". Few things piss me off more. I was extremely, extremely tempted to log into reddit and give them the equivalent of a backhand across the face by text.
And... I didn't.
Instead, I logged in and posted some resources for someone else in the thread who asked about Gnosticism. That exchange went extremely well and I may actually have helped them in some way. Success!
I suppose that's a textbook example of temptation, which I did not give in to. I tend to look for the Outcome card near the end of the day, though, so missed it earlier! Something to contemplate for sure.
And now, the rest of the review:
I cannot tell whether or not I made mistakes today. I did end up a bit uncomfortable hiking across Portland on a 95 degree day, which really, I should have maybe figured out (and worn yoga pants underneath my skirt). My tarot book thought that reversed 5 of Hearts means that you DON'T make mistakes, which, all in all it was a good day, so maybe? Something to keep an eye on.
Harmony between inside and out: yeah, I definitely felt that, especially as I made several comment posts about spiritual matters in between walking, drinking a beer, and doing approximately half of a book review. It was an absolutely delightful day, balmy and bright. I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else.
Freedom, the fool: I wonder if this card represents a feeling of "I'm living my best liiiiiife!" And not overthinking it. I'm definitely there, no question. For better or worse!
OK, it could also be that I'm actually sending a job application in for one of the most ridiculous, rambling recruiter calls I've ever taken in my 35 years on Earth. This could really be a Fool action. But let's let it play out, and find out...
OK, now to tomorrow's cards!
Me: King of Spades (The Emperor) - Wisdom, Experience, Authority
Situation: Queen of Diamonds - Bond between internal and external, mastery but not control of nature
Outcome: 6 of Diamonds - Charity, Harmony, Cooperation
No complaints, this is a very positive reading, but I do wonder - what DOES King of Spades mean? I'm getting an impression of "positive spiritual authority". I'll try to pay close attention and see if I can figure it out. For the rest of it... I have a very pleasant excursion planned... and maybe I'll finally get around to sending out those extra invites for the Ecosophian meetup! Shoulda done it today, whoops. Is that a mistake, maybe?! In any case... not starting my kid's bath would be a mistake!
